[applause] it was great to hear from president obama yesterday. he said when you bet on america, that that pays off. -- that bet pays off. i could not agree more. he also announced that the select usa program will be stepping up its game in a number of ways. attracting business investment will be a major priority for commerce and the state department, including our foreign commercial service officers and our ambassadors. senior government officials, including the president himself, would do more than directly advocate for investment deals. we will create a single point of contact to provide you with a coordinated federal support and cut the red tape. and we will do more to support the great work of the economic development organization at the regional state and city level. to provide a sports analogy it'll serve as a quarterback for increasing business investment in the united states. in addition, i should note that the president once again calls for congress to provide full funding for select usa in his budget. select usa already provides a great

so unless president obama, and here's the case, unless president obama is willing and able to help president rouhani would have a short honeymoon. and a chance for a breakthrough with the islamic republic will be lost. but the challenges president obama faces are no less serious. though they are more manageable. while many of the sanctions are written in laws and are controlled by the congress, they also give the president maximum leeway, the power to weight. but to use the power to weight or to waiver, the white house must certify that the full enforcement of the law will harm american national interest. the state department has used the waiver to allow a few countries -- eight countries i believe -- to continue buying iranian crude oil at a much reduced level. but will president obama used the waiver more boldly? i doubt that he will. obama has been a risk adverse president when it comes to public hated international matters. he also has many fights to settle with the congress. and will not want to add iran to his fighting basket. but president obama has also a state in seeing the iranian
